KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 7 (Bernama) -- Preparations for the 2025 National Day and Malaysia Day (HKHM) 2025 celebrations are running smoothly, with a wide array of side events already lined up to ensure a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere for all attendees.
Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said his ministry has already convened two meetings each for the main organising committees of both National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations.
'Everything is on track. Planning and participation have been very positive. We're still receiving applications from various groups keen to take part in the parade.
'To enrich the experience, we're also organising numerous side events so that those attending won't only watch the parade, a showcase of assets, or performances, but can also enjoy various activities around Putrajaya.
'Families, children, and parents alike can look forward to a truly festive and enjoyable atmosphere,' he told reporters at the PENTARAMA Homecoming programme in conjunction with HKHM 2025 at SK Bangsar today.
Fahmi said that a range of events is also being planned for the National Day Eve celebrations in Putrajaya and across Kuala Lumpur.
'I don't want to reveal too much just yet, but rest assured, this year's celebrations will be grand, harmonious, and filled with joy,' he said, encouraging the public to visit the merdeka360.my portal for updates.
This year's National Day parade will take place in Putrajaya on Aug 31, while Malaysia Day will be celebrated on Sept 16 at PICCA@Arena Butterworth in Penang.
On another development, Fahmi invited the public to attend Malam Malaysia Bersama Gaza, a solidarity event for Palestine organised by the Malaysian Consultative Council of Islamic Organisation (MAPIM).

PM Anwar demands transparent probe into assault on Rafizi's son

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has urged authorities to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation into the assault case involving the son of former Economy Minister Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli. Anwar confirmed he had raised the matter with Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. 'We have yet to recover from the scourge of bullying in schools, and now we are confronted with another deplorable act — a malicious and treacherous assault on the son of Rafizi Ramli,' he stated in a Facebook post. The Prime Minister also extended prayers for the well-being of Rafizi and his family. Rafizi earlier disclosed that his son was attacked while entering a car with his wife at a Putrajaya shopping mall around 1.45 pm. He described the assailant as a man who grabbed his son and pricked him with a syringe. According to Rafizi, two men on a motorcycle, dressed in black attire and helmets, were involved in the incident. The victim was subsequently taken to a hospital for medical treatment. - Bernama
